Scott Storch Loses $500,000+ Lawsuit

Back in May of 2007, David Menefield, owner of the LA Confidential record label and former manager of Nocturnal, sued Scott Storch because he claimed he lent Storch's Tuff Jew Productions $100,000 to prevent the forclosure of his home, when Storch was experiencing financial problems in 2003. Scott Storch never repaid the loan and reneged on other portions of the agreement including four tracks he promised to Menefields artist, which are valued at $100,000 a piece. On February 13th a judge sided with Menefield, ruling that Storch must pay $509,717, which includes the original loan plus the total of $400,000 for the tracks and attorney fees. "Scott Storch never had the courtesy even to call me and speak to me directly about this matter after I asked to be repaid," Menefield said. "I had to hire my tough Jewish lawyer Bret Lewis to beat the $509,717.50 from Scott Storch and Tuff Jew Productions in court. Scott Storch has not given a statement yet.
